The melt conditioned direct chill (MC-DC) casting process has been used to produce billets and extruded planks of AA5754 alloy formulated from 100% recycled Taint Tabor scrap aluminum. The billets were homogenized and then extruded into flat planks. Optical metallography of the MC-DC cast billets showed equiaxed refined grains in comparison to conventional direct chill (DC) cast and direct chill grain refined (DC-GR) cast billets formulated from the same Taint Tabor scrap. Microstructural evaluation of the extruded planks showed extensive peripheral coarse grain (PCG) for the DC, DC-GR and MC-DC cast planks. The 2 mm and 1 mm MC-DC cast planks produced after cold rolling and heat treatment showed a fully recrystallized microstructure at 380 °C and 300 °C for 10 min respectively with an improvement in mechanical properties over DC-GR cast and similarly processed planks. The as-extruded MC-DC cast planks tensile tested in the transverse direction showed 34% elongation and 213 MPa ultimate tensile strength. These tensile results showed 5.8% higher elongation and 1.2% higher ultimate tensile strength compared with the DC-GR planks after applying high shear melt conditioning.

Carbon Footprint Analysis of an Outpatient Dermatology Practice at an Academic Medical Center.
JAMA Dermatol
January 2025
Department of Dermatology, Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.
Importance: There is growing awareness of the US health sector's substantial contribution to the country's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, exacerbating the health threats from climate change. Reducing health care's environmental impact requires understanding its carbon emissions, but there are few published audits of health systems and fewer comprehensive emissions analyses at the clinic or department level.
Objective: To quantify the annual GHG emissions from a large outpatient dermatology practice, compare relative sources of emissions, and identify actionable targets.

Objective: This study aims to enhance the understanding of underlying mechanisms and potential therapies of the solute carrier organic anion (SLCO) transporter family in internal environment disorder (IED)-induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This could lead to new therapeutic strategies and offer new directions for the creation of new patents for HCC treatment products.
Methods: The orthotopic transplantation (OT), IED and IED-based OT (IED-OT) mouse models were established.
Compliance to international guidelines and rational use of antibiotics in urinary tract infections in a country without national guidance: a cross-sectional study.
BMJ Open Qual

Background: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common bacterial infections, and appropriate antimicrobial therapy with agents that minimise resistance is crucial. Despite international concern, adherence to guidelines is still suboptimal. This study aims to determine the effect of the absence of national guidelines and the rate of conformity to international guidelines among physicians in antibiotic (ATB) prescriptions for the treatment of UTIs in adults and detect the factors that are associated with a higher rate of non-compliance.

Chasteberry extract offers considerable phytotherapeutic benefits, particularly in alleviating premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms. However, its hydroalcoholic nature leads to a bitter taste and a burning sensation, presenting challenges for direct consumption or incorporation into new food products. This study aimed to address these issues by encapsulating concentrated chasteberry extract using spray-drying with Arabic gum, followed by spray-chilling with vegetable fat as carriers.
